The ubuntu installer never put the "acl" option into /etc/fstab. On my quantal-installed system I have no such option:
$ grep acl /proc/mounts /etc/fstab $ I don't see any tune2fs in our installers either. So what I suspect is that mkfs enables the option by default these days, but hasn't in the past? My /home file system was created in August 2010, and I get $ sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda5 | grep 'mount options' Default mount options: (none) while my root partition (which I recreate with every install) has Default mount options: user_xattr acl On both file systems I can use ACLs, so the implicit default if the file system does not specify an explicit one seems to work correctly. Can people who are affected by this please run above command on their root file system? (That's the kind of debugging and comparison I would like to do with SSH access...) As a last resort I can still make udisks get along without ACL support, but this would be a bad and incomplete workaround for the root problem. There's certainly other software which wants ACLs to work, so I'd like to get this fixed properly rather. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048059 Title: Adding ACLs to /media/$user does not work Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hewlett-Packard HP Envy 14 1095la https://wiki.ubuntu.com/druellan/hpenvy1095la I get an error message -Adding read ACL for uid 999 to `/media/ubuntu' failed: Operation not supported- every time I try to insert a mountable media (CD/DVD/SD card/Pendrive/USB drive).
